# searchFocused(_:)

Modifies this view by binding the focus state of the search field associated with the nearest searchable modifier to the given Boolean value.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func searchFocused(_ binding: FocusState<Bool>.Binding) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `binding`: The focus state to bind. When focus moves to the associated search field, the binding sets the bound value to true. If a caller sets the value to true programmatically, then focus moves to the search field. When focus leaves the search field, the binding sets the value to false. If a caller sets the value to false, SwiftUI automatically dismisses focus.

## Return Value

Return Value The modified view.

## Discussion

Discussion To control focus by matching a non-boolean value, use the searchFocused(_:equals:) modifier instead. For more information about using searchable modifiers, refer to Adding a search interface to your app.
